Workington effort rolls across the goal and out. Sonnie Davis shot from distance is too high. Brandy cuts in and his effort is deflected for a corner.
one minute added time. 2-0. 45 mins

Matchman · Yesterday 2:49 PM

Half time : Workington 2 Ilkeston 0

Matchman · Yesterday 2:56 PM

After our usual poor start at least we stopped matters getting worse. At 0-2 down there ’s a chance of a comeback provided we don’t concede another. We look like team who haven’t played together.
Of the new playersYaya looks decent . Sonnie Davis has had a couple of shots which is more than our forwards.
I don't think we'll see Pharrell in the second half because he was limping.. Workington's 2 goals were gifts following poor defending. You cant gift 2 goals to your opponents and get away with it.

Northern Premier League
Workington 3 Ilkeston Town 1T
Two Luke Hunter goals for Workington in the first 10 minutes proved too much for Ilkeston to recover from. Anthony Dwyer pulled one back just after the restart but Brennan Dickenson restored Workington’s advantage from the spot to end any hopes of a comeback.
Ilkeston got off to a worst possible start conceding after only 3 minutes resulting from poor defending and allowing Hunter the easiest of finishes. As Workington pressed for another Sam Wilson rescued Ilkeston with a fine save from a close range header. But before Ilkeston could muster a meaningful attack Hunter struck again to double the hosts lead. Workington smelled blood and could have added two more. One was prevented by good defending by debutant Sonnie Davis then Wlison kept out a strong shot by Dickenson. Ilkeston’s first attempt on goal was by Ash Hunter whose effort was deflected off target. Dwyer was just beaten to a forward ball by host’s keeper Alex Mitchell then Sam Newell sent a shot into the side netting. There was another Ilkeston chance when Mitchell mis-handled a cross but no one could take advantage.
Ilkeston came out for the second half with purpose and when Dwyer pulled a goal back three minutes in, A comeback looked possible. But on 57 minutes Ilkeston’s on-loan signing Cherif Yaya spoiled a promising debut by giving away a penalty. Dickenson converted and Ilkeston’s recovery hopes were given a major setback. When Will Grewal-Pollard went down in the area Ilkeston thought they had a penalty but the referee gave a free kick to Workington instead. Dylan Reason’s turn and shot brought a good save from Mitchell as Ilkeston looked for a second goal. At the other end Wilson denied Hunter before another chance fell to Reason and he in turn was denied by Mitchell. The score remained 3-1 and a 4th consecutive Ilkeston defeat.

The performance at Workington was better after we’d got over the first 20 minutes or so when we looked disorganised. The new players did alright and will get better given time. I thought Terry Hawkridge had a better game getting more involved. Again Tris used all of his subs. As in the previous match at Leamington we started badly conceding two early goals leaving us with an uphill battle. We had our best spell at the start of the second half and had we not conceded the penalty I think we could have got something from this game.

Tris told me about his frustration at the team’s performances and his inability to bring in players identified to improve the team. He said certain players had been identified and spoken to, only for other clubs paying silly money to get wind of their availability and tempt them away.
